- OIL-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. GARLE TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Goshen Junction, in the county of Tulare and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil- Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention embraces improvements in oil, hydrocarbon or distillate burners and relates particularly to a burner of this type which is adapted for use in connection with a domestic cook stove or range, but which may also be used in furnaces and heaters of different types.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide an oil burner having a body formed of an integral casting and forming the gen erating chambers, deflector plate, and starting pan.

Another object of the invention is to provide an oil burner having a plurality of burner tubes positioned under the generating chambers, and valves for controlling the flow of oil to the generating chambers.

With these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved oil burner with the generating element and manifold shown in section, Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the burner, Fig. 3 is an end elevation, and Fig. 4 is an en larged transverse sectional view taken on the plane of line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring in detail to the drawings by numerals, 5 designates as an entirety a casting which forms the body of the burner and which comprises a parallelepiped generating element 6, standards or legs 7 and a starting pan 8. The body is adapted to be positioned within the fire box of a stove, range or other heater, and the generating element 6 which is disposed in a horizontal plane is formed with a plurality of non- Specification of Letters Patent.

communicating generating chambers, here shown as three in number and indicated by the numerals 9, 10 and 11. These chambers extend entirely through the generating element and are preferably tapped adjacent their ends. The standards extend downwardly from the underside of the generating element adjacent the corners thereof, and connect at their lower ends to the starting pan 8. Referring to Fig. 4 it will be seen that this starting pan is disposed centrally under the generating element, is of a less width than the latter, and is made concave on its upper surface, as indicated by the numeral 12 so as to hold a quantity of oil.

Pipes 13, 14 and 15 are connected by standard couplings 16 which connect with short pipes 17 which thread into the inner ends of the respective generating chambers. The pipes 13 and 15 extend downwardly and outwardly and are connected at their lower ends by means of the couplings 18 to horizontal pipes 19 and 20 respectively. These last mentioned pipes are disposed on the outside of the casting slightly above the starting pan and extend forwardly in parallel relation to the sides of the casting. The pipe 19, which is longer than the pipe 20, is connected at its forward ends by means of the coupling 21, to a burner tube or nozzle 22 which extends transversely across the starting pan and which is formed on its upper side with a discharge opening 23. The pipe 20 has connected to its forward end a burner tube or nozzle 24 which extends transversely of the starting pan over the center thereof and which is formed with a discharge opening 25. The pipe 14 extends downwardly and inwardly and has connected to its lower extremity by means of a coupling 26, a burner tube or nozzle 27 having a discharge opening 28. The nozzles are all disposed in the same horizontal plane and the discharge openings are all in the vertical plane which passes through the longitudinal center of the starting pan.

Oil is conveyed from any suitable recep tacle, not shown, to a manifold 29, by means of a pipe 30 which is provided with a shut off valve 81 and check valve 82. Leading from the manifold are three pipes 33 which connect to the forward ends of the generating chambers 9, 10 and 11 respectively, and which are equipped with shutofi valves 34, whereby the flow of oil to any one of the generating chambers may be governed.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I have provided an oil distillate burner which is provided with a plurality of burner tubes, each of which is connected to the individual generating chamber, and that a plurality of valves are provided for individually controlling the flow of oil to these chambers. The burner is started by allowing a small quantity of oil to flow into the starting pan and then igniting this fluid so as to heat the generating element and gasify the liquid therein. The gas will issue from the discharge openmgs 1n the burner tubes and may be burnt so as to produce an intense heat. The bottom of the generating element acts as a deflector to spread the flame and cause it to heat the top of a stove evenly. This burner will produce a steady intense flame, does not produce soot and will be found very economical.

lVhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be made Without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, I claim In an oil burner of the character described, a gas generating element having a plurality of chambers formed therein and extending longitudinally therethrough, a

starting pan integrally connected to the generating element and positioned under the same, means for conveying oil into the forward ends of the generating chambers, a plurality of burner tubes positioned in a horizontal plane above the starting pan and having discharge openings positioned above the center line of said pan, and pipes connecting the burner-tubes with the rear ends of the generating chambers.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
